Num Nummies Monday #4

Another week, another ‘so close’ on the sticking to the menu
plan.

Lamb chops on Wednesday didn’t happen, but the rest of the
week was okay. Saturday night ended up being takeaway (I know I said I didn’t
want it this week) of fish and chips. It was a long day, with a trip to Sydney
to see my cousin referee at a women’s national competition of rugby union.

Friday night was steak and potato bake – and boyo was that
potato bake yummy! We also ended up bbq-ing some thin potato slices as well, as
a friend came over for dinner. Well, he came over to watch the rugby league
with hubby but of course we invited him for dinner first. I forgot though that
he doesn’t eat potato bake (strange, I know) but we still polished it all off
anyway. Imogen really enjoyed the potato from the bbq – she had stuff all over
her face to prove it.

Last night we didn’t have cheese on toast, but Imogen and I
finished off the fish from Saturday night and hubby ate a pie.

Menu plan for Monday 16th April to Sunday 22nd

Wednesday: Chicken legs, rice and vegies (chicken is marinating in the freezer)

Thursday: Lamb chops and potato bake (we will eat those lamb
chops!)

Friday: Meatballs, vegie sauce and pasta (freezer meal)

Saturday: Tuna bake and shepherd’s pie (freezer meals, neither is enough for all of us)

Sunday: Leftovers or cheese on toast

I bought some bananas on special last week, and I will be
making them into some banana choc bread. I came across this recipe for Chocolate banana bread and thought
it sounded a bit of alright! I will actually have too many bananas for just
that recipe, and I have just come across this recipe - Strawberry banana muffins, so I will also use up some extra strawberries in my fridge too. Hubby might enjoy these as a new recipe for the muffins he takes to work.

I like the change from the jam (on Joy the Baker's site) to the cranberry sauce, so
that’s what I’ll do. I’m excited because there is a little bit of camembert
cheese in the fridge, taunting me, as I can’t eat it cold. The things you give
up for pregnancy and your unborn child! But I can eat it hot. Yay!
